Frontend Development

Overview

Frontend development is where user experience meets engineering discipline. We build interfaces that are fast, accessible, and maintainable — measured against concrete targets, not subjective opinion.

Next.js is our default choice for new web applications. Its hybrid rendering model (SSR, SSG, ISR) lets us optimize each route independently — static generation for marketing pages, server-side rendering for dynamic content, and client-side rendering for interactive dashboards. For complex enterprise SPAs, we work with Angular's opinionated module system and dependency injection, which provides structure that scales well with large development teams. React with Vite serves projects where maximum flexibility in architecture decisions is preferred.

Every frontend project starts with a TypeScript-first approach. Strict typing catches integration errors at compile time rather than in production. We use Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling that eliminates dead CSS and produces smaller bundles than traditional CSS frameworks.

Performance is treated as a feature, not an afterthought. We target Core Web Vitals thresholds: LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, and CLS below 0.1. This is achieved through code splitting, lazy loading below-the-fold components, image optimization (WebP/AVIF with responsive srcsets), and font subsetting. Lighthouse CI runs on every pull request to prevent performance regressions.

Accessibility follows WCAG 2.1 AA compliance: semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, keyboard navigation, color contrast ratios above 4.5:1, and screen reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver. Automated a11y audits (axe-core) are integrated into the CI pipeline.
